This is one of those posts that is so hard to know where to begin. We came to Peoria today for the first of her GI studies. That went off without a hitch. She didn't like it by any means, but it's done. Then to the lab for repeat lab tests to check on her recent blood situation. Not so good. Her platelets dropped again to 29,000 and there were "blasts" found on her white cells, which is what she had when we were originally told she had leukemia. Olivia's cardiologist and oncologist said we may be heading down that road again, but we'll know more in the next few days. They did admit her and we lucked out with PIC being full and are upstairs in PICU with her friends. She's as happy as can be and playing with everyone that comes by to visit. She is having a bone marrow biopsy done in the morning around 8:30 and we should get some preliminary results back 3-4 hours after that. If nothing "substantial" shows up we should be able to go home and wait for further results to come back later. If bad things come back, we'll make some decisions from there. She is getting some blood tonight to get her pumped back up. The good news is her heart function is great. Her pulmonary hypertension is worse than in her last echo, but that can be related to stress. Olivia...Stressed? We'll be saying some big prayers tonight.
